Tunable Pyrotechnic Aircraft Countermeasure Flares
Abstract
This project is essential to support the advanced development activities and technology demonstrations of the Aviation Airborne Expendable Countermeasure (AAECM) components and prototype munition decoys necessary to address emerging threat deficiencies in Army aircraft protection and the safety of its aircrews against advanced Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS) and shoulder launched Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM) systems. These efforts will evaluate integrated technologies and countermeasure prototype systems in realistic operating test environments to help expedite technology transition from the laboratory to operational use to demonstrate component and subsystem maturity prior to integration into major and complex Army aircraft platforms. These expendable countermeasures systems are an essential part of survivability equipment for Army aircraft. Army RDT&E efforts are coordinated with the PEO Aviation and its platform PMs with PM Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) to address emerging JUONS from theatre.
